Music forbidden in Islam? That's a bit rough isn't it?
As I said, it's not true...
The very hardliners say it's forbidden, the a LITTLE BIT better ones, that is the ones that talked for us in school said that "musical instruments that are only used in parties and for having fun" are forbidden, but if they can also be used for other stuff, then they're not forbidden

But mainstream islam, the true one, has no problems with music, as long as it doesn't stop you from doing your religious deeds. I'm a believing Muslim and I listen to U2 as much as you guys do, and I also play guitar myself and I'm sure I'm not doing anything wrong
